ACI Clinical reviews about "people"

8 people have quit in less than a year. For a small company of about 65, it's affecting morale terribly. . Management ignores the issues. Clique-ish particularly among the top 5 people in the Company. No room for advancement despite claims. People are forced to do tasks that are way below their skills and experience and without a voice. It's a sad place to be.

Corporate is looking at numbers rather than listening to employees concerns. Workload is high and has been since pandemic started. Re-organizing has started but it’s slow moving to see results for everyday way of working.

Due to nature of the work, there can be extremely busy periods. Innovation is excellent, but sometimes the ideas take a life of their own. One obstacle of having so many long-standing employees in management positions, it may feel challenging for new staff to come in and feel like they are making an impact or to know where they fit. A year ago the company implemented a new hire buddy system and feedback loop for new hires that seems to be well received.

-Complicated work -Sometimes you have to work long hours, client comes first

Personally for me, I accepted the job offer because based on the interview, I thought I would be working with loyal people who care for the growth and development of their employees. Instead, what I found was that my manager expected me to know how to do my job without any training or support. Despite that, I genuinely tried to do my job to the best of my ability. In my interim review, I was told I was awesome and that they couldn't be happier with my progress. The only thing said that wasn't exactly positive was that by my 1 year mark, I should be able to independently complete my deliverables without them having to be reviewed. Before I had the chance to show them that I could work independently, less than a month later, I was let go. I was told I was not a fit for that company and that I had to leave the next day. How nice of them to give me a one day notice and 5 days pay afterwards...which coincidentally turned out to be the vacation days I accrued and never took. No additional severance at all. But that's not even the worst part....the part that hurt most was getting no warning at all and having my manager pretend like everything was going okay. Isn't it the managers job to, hmmm, I don't know....MANAGE?!
